All aboard? Proverbs 21:21 Matthew 7:12

Matthew 7:12 (NLT)
12 “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

Life, prosperity and honor. Pretty cool. What kind of prosperity? Might be financial, might not be. It’ll certainly be something you can sink you teeth into though. Life changing. Through righteousness and love. Righteousness and love. There’s no self in there, it’s all outward facing and sacrificial.

Do unto others. For social justice, for your home, for your work, for everywhere, this is the answer. If you were hungry and homeless, what would you be looking for? Old, broke and without medicine? Getting your meals out of a garbage dump, or even a dumpster? What would you want people to do for you? Do unto others. It’s that simple; it’s that hard. How many chances will you have today? How many will you pass by?

Righteousness, love, do unto others. That’s the essence of life, the core of a well lived life (in God’s eyes, not ours though). Can we get everyone aboard?

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences.
I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving.
